Give Biden and the democrats a blank check? This would be stupid they already have out of control spending. Democrats need to work with GOP to raise debt ceiling

Dozens of House Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the debt ceiling, which would allow the government to borrow without any limit set by Congress.

The federal government hit the $31.381 trillion debt ceiling last week, and House Republicans are pushing for commitments to cut back on the record growth in federal spending before agreeing to allow more borrowing. But Democrats accuse Republicans of setting up the possibility of prohibiting a debt ceiling hike, which would make the government unable to fund all of its current obligations.

Democrats say a better idea is to eliminate all limits on federal borrowing and allow the government to borrow whatever it needs.

No, it would only allow the borrowing to cover the difference in the spending that Congress authorized and the income that Congress authorized. Remember Congress has already ordered the government to borrow this amount. In fact, it is unconstitutional for the government to refuse Congress' demand.

Can you even begin to see what would happen if the GOP refused to raise the debt ceiling. They might never win another election for decades.

It is unconstitutional for Republicans to default on the debt. And it would cost Americans a lot of money.

Most importantly why do it? It is just them throwing a temper tantrum.

Yes! The left wants to make govt the master of every part of your life. They think people are too stupid to decide for themselves what's right or wrong, good of bad. Why do they think this? Because the left has spend decades teaching kids to be good obedient minions.

You never seem to mention fiscal restraint when a Republican is President, which goes to show that your argument is pure bullshit.

The Repubs always jack the debt up bigly. It is their plan that they think will allow them to end programs that do not help the rich and corporations. They slash taxes for the rich and corporations while increasing military and other spending. They do it every time. The debt ceiling is about paying the bill for things we have already done. You have no understanding of the problems at all.
